A Taste of Ireland on Lake Minnetonka
Located in the heart of downtown Wayzata with a picturesque view of Lake Minnetonka, McCormick’s Pub & Restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere infused with traditional Irish charm. Owned by Tim McCormick and Michael Simpson, the pub showcases a fusion of Irish pub traditions and a diverse menu spanning Continental and Nouveau American cuisine.
Embracing the motto of serving “Good Food to Good People,” McCormick’s prides itself on a culinary experience that emphasizes scratch-made dishes using locally sourced ingredients and hand-butchered, never frozen seafood. Whether patrons drop by for a laid-back lunch, partake in the daily Happy Hour, opt for a light meal, or indulge in an elegant dinner, they can expect a hearty Failte (“welcome”) awaiting them.
Signature dishes at McCormick’s include the renowned Fish & Chips featuring Harp-battered fresh Alaskan cod served with fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce. The Lobster Roll offers a taste of the North Atlantic with tarragon aioli, lettuce, and a toasted split top roll. The Flatbread presents a savory combination of red sauce, mozzarella, Italian sausage, mushrooms, green olives, and basil. For those seeking comfort, the French Onion Soup is served in a comforting bowl.
Rotating specials add variety to the menu, featuring highlights such as Corned Beef & Cabbage, Shepherd’s Pie, and Petite Filet Mignon.
On tap, McCormick’s Pub & Restaurant proudly features Guinness, the iconic Irish stout known for its perfect pour. The beverage selection extends to craft beers, specialty cocktails, and a curated list of wines.
As a delightful addition, patrons can experience the rich heritage of Irish whiskey with Red Locks Irish Whiskey by Kieran Folliard and co-founder/master blender Noel Sweeney.
Tim McCormick shares his passion for creating an authentic Irish experience, stating, “We aimed to bring a piece of Ireland to Wayzata—a place where people can gather, enjoy hearty meals, and savor the warmth of true Irish hospitality.”
